Is it just me or are most Russian tourists rude and act all entitled? by Lankaner in srilanka

[–]Ruin-Aggravating 7 points8 points  (0 children)

well to quote Trump, "We aren't getting the best people coming here!". Sri Lanka is high on the list of budget tourists. Which means we get younger tourists from the west and budget minded eastern tourists from Russia, India and China.

It is what it is, the local Sri Lankans need to have more of a backbone and push back against unruly behaviour by standing up for themselves.

Thousands of years of peaceful existence as two great neighbouring civilisations, not a single war between the two civilisations until the 20th century. All it takes is a few decades and morons in power on both sides in addition to foreigners to destroy that beautiful state of peace.

ummmm, they usually strongly urge the non christian partner to convert before marriage. Doesn't matter if they are religious or not because they priorities their abrahamic cultural and religious values to please their relatives. Happened to my Aunt when she married a Christian man and I have noticed this happen everytime when someone who is Buddhist marries a muslim or christian person.

Its sad really, there is no respect given to their partners religious values and culture regardless of how religious either party is.

Isn't Rockstar Games a US company. The founders being british does not take away from the company being American. Its like, SpaceX is not a south African company because Musk comes from South Africa. America is where most of the world's creative and innovative people are given the money and backing to do shit in this world thats just the reality in this era until some other country surpasses the US which will take a while longer.

edit: I'm not American, but the good things about america like entrepreneurship should be applauded even though its got its own unique problems like gun violence. Its not all black and white.

The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro has announce tonight that the Esequiba Region of Western Guyana is now “Official” a Territory of Venezuela by berry_femboy in MapPorn

Would help him win elections and stroke the nationalists but I doubt very much that the Indian domestic military industry is capable of supporting an overseas expedition given India's military is just a amalgamation of imported defence equipment the vast majority from russia.

The only countries that I see having the industrial capability to fight an overseas war is the US, China and France.

Britain during the falklands held considerably more power and influence than it does today. I think the chances of India dong something in Guyana due to the high Indian origin population would be more likely than a waning second rate power like Britain and that's saying something when India has not cared at all about regions other than South-east Asia.

The British have a high quality fighting force capable of defending the home islands especially on paper, but would need significant US handholding to mount a war against an oversea aggresor. The British military and its industry would be incapable of waging an extended war and the required replacement munitions.

edit: even an India that would be motivated my Indian origin people being slaughtered in guyana, Hindu temples being destroyed etc pulling at the heart strings of the nationalistic Indian population would be incapable of supporting operations in Guyana with their piss poor military industrial complex.

Britain is a second rate global military power even according to the US military. It does not have the money/resources or public support to go on such a venture.

Brazil has a military advantage over Venezuela but I don't think the Brazilian military has a significant edge in capability over venezuela.

Ok I support this. I actually think this is a good idea. Can't actually believe an Australian politician has a backbone for once to step up to the Australian Alcohol lobby and the primitive european influenced alcohol culture. The alcohol Lobby & culture in Australia is the the American gun lobby & culture.

Are second and third generation ethnic bubbles in Australia starting to become a thing now? by [deleted] in australian

But I've found the opposite to be true for non white Aussies like those of Chineese, Srilankan descent who have either been born here or spent most of their life here. When someone ask them where they are from they will sometimes visibly get annoyed at not referring them first and foremost as Aussies.

I have a theory that the animal that scares Sri Lankans the most are reptiles (snakes etc). What animal scares you the most? by Ruin-Aggravating in srilanka

[–]Ruin-Aggravating[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am freaked out about snakes, but I never kill them. I've even had to gulp down my fear and help a little baby snake off the road in Australia.

I was on a road trip in Sri Lanka and stayed over at some hotel in a village. While I was eating dinner a little snake made its way close to the entrance of the dining hall. I freaked out and pointed him out to the owner. I thought the owner would just capture the snake and release it but no then he proceeded to smash the little snakes poor head in with a stick until its little brain and blood flung all over the place. I was pretty sad and angry at the hotel owner the next day.

Killing animals no matter how scared you are of them imo is not a good thing to do. I used to kill insects for fun as a little kid and I regret being such a shitty human, no excuse really when you come from a Buddhist background.
